Exploration of Technical and Nontechnical Employee Attitudes toward Participation in Training
Ryburn, Ben; Brown, Dan; Meier, Ron
Performance Improvement, v50 n8 p33-40 Sep 2011
This study examined technical and nontechnical employee attitudes toward participation in training. A survey was administered to 337 self-identified technical and nontechnical university employees. Our findings are as follows: (a) most employees prefer training that is less than 2 hours in length, (b) employees do not want training outside their regular shift, (c) employees strongly prefer hands-on training, and (d) less than half were encouraged by their supervisor to apply what was learned in nontechnical training to their job. (Contains 2 figures and 5 tables.)
